90 minutes, one and a half hours, and two classes, he could take the high-speed train from Hangzhou to Nanjing.
Also, he could watch a movie in the cinema.
The premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story" at the Triumph Theater started at 8 o 'clock in the evening and ended at 9: 30.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
When the lights in the movie hall lit up, the silent audience seemed to have suddenly woken up from a deep sleep. No one knew who took the lead to applaud, and then the applause quickly spread throughout the audience.
At first, it was a little messy, but soon it became the same rhythm, like a summer storm, fast and fierce, shaking back and forth in the theater.
One by one, the guests stood up and turned to the seats where the crew members of "A Chinese Ghost Story" were sitting, sending their sincere and warm congratulations!
As guests invited to the movie premiere, after watching the movie, no matter how they visualized it, applauding was a basic courtesy, but there were differences in etiquette.
"A Chinese Ghost Story" received the highest respect!
Among the hundreds of guests, there were representatives of film and television entertainment companies, stars and artists in the entertainment industry, media reporters and writers, and members of the Xiangjiang Film Association — they were also members of the jury of the Xiangjiang Film Support Project.
These people, who represented the upper echelons of the film and television industry in Xiangjiang, could not be easily bribed. They had their own positions, their own standards of judgment, and their own preferences.
It was all because of the strength of "A Chinese Ghost Story" that they were able to sincerely congratulate the crew members!
"Congratulations!"
The first to congratulate Lu Chen was Liu Gangsheng. "You made a good movie, very good!"
Lu Chen held the hand of the King of Xiangjiang and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Sheng!"
Liu Gangsheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Next time there's a good script, save a role for me."
Lu Chen quickly said, "That's my honor!"
With Liu Gangsheng's status and influence in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, he had a lot of scripts to choose from. Countless film and television companies wanted to cooperate with him.
Of course, the premise was that they could afford Liu Gangsheng's salary, which was one of the highest among the male actors in Xiangjiang.
And he took the initiative to ask Lu Chen for a role, not only to give face to Lu Chen, but also to express his appreciation for "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Shi Fang, who was with Liu Gangsheng, interrupted, "Count me in."
Lu Chen felt a little dizzy.
In his memory, there was only one movie that Liu Gangsheng and Shi Fang had worked together. This movie, which was produced ten years ago, had set a box office record in Hong Kong at that time, and had also achieved very high results in the mainland.
Although the two were very good friends, this was the first time they had worked together in a movie. If Lu Chen could invite these two to join his new movie, it would definitely cause a sensation in the media without any promotion.
Even if their salaries were very high, as long as the script wasn't too bad, it would be difficult for them to make a loss!
The key was that they were high-class enough. Any film company that could hire these two would be considered a success.
Of course, Liu Gangsheng and Shi Fang might be just being polite, so Lu Chen wouldn't lose his mind immediately. He was only stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "I'll write the script when I get back tonight!"
Liu Gangsheng and Shi Fang both laughed.
Shi Fang sighed and said, "I like the theme song of this movie very much. I like it very much …"
She asked, "What's the name of this song?"
Lu Chen replied, "The road changes with the people."
He answered in Cantonese because the theme song was a Cantonese song. There was also a Mandarin version for the mainland.
"The road changes with the people …"
Shi Fang softly recited these words, and a trace of disappointment appeared on her face. It seemed that she had thought of something.
Liu Gangsheng quietly held her hand, then said to Lu Chen, "You should go up."
Lu Chen nodded and took Chen Fei 'er and all the main cast members of "A Chinese Ghost Story" onto the stage of the theater.
Lu Chen, Chen Fei 'er, Nie Mingzhu, Ma Rongzhen, Wan Xiaoquan, Chen Wenqiang …
Other than Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er, the others were basically unknown in the film and television industry in Hong Kong. Only Ma Rongzhen was considered a senior, but he had been a flop for a long time. No one had heard of Wan Xiaoquan at all.
Lu Chen had only recently become famous in the circle. It could be said that the lineup of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was not strong at all. There were not many actors, and there were very few investments and special effects.
However, the movie was unanimously approved by the picky guests. The applause lasted for a few minutes before it ended.
As for the ordinary audience who were lucky enough to attend the premiere, they cheered loudly and even clapped their hands until they turned red.
"Thank you, thank you everyone!"
Lu Chen led the crew to thank the guests and the audience. Next, it was time for the interview.
Many cameras had already been set up, and the long and short cameras were aimed at the actors.
In particular, Lu Chen, Chen Fei 'er, and Nie Mingzhu received the most attention from the reporters.
When it was time to ask questions freely, a reporter sitting in the front row couldn't wait to stand up and said loudly, "I'm a reporter from Film Weekly. May I ask Mr. Lu Chen …"
The media interview lasted for more than an hour. None of the reporters in Hong Kong were easy to deal with. Even if they also liked "A Chinese Ghost Story" and had received a red packet from Lu Chen Studio, they would still ask tricky questions.
At this time, it was very difficult to see the ability of the interviewee. If they made a fool of themselves, they would definitely be ridiculed by some media in the newspapers tomorrow.
Lu Chen was no longer a fledgling artist. The memories of the three lives in the dream world had also made him far wiser and more mature than his peers. Even in the face of the aggressive questions from the reporters, he still handled it with ease.
After a few rounds of exchanges, although the reporters from several newspapers and websites could not say that they were convinced, they at least secretly admired Lu Chen's sophistication and cleverness — they could not find any flaws in him at all.
They had no choice but to shift the focus to Chen Fei 'er, Nie Mingzhu, and the others.
"Miss Chen Fei 'er, everyone knows that you are Lu Chen's girlfriend. You have starred in two TV series together, and both of them are absolute male and female leads. Why is the female lead of" A Chinese Ghost Story "Miss Nie Mingzhu, while you play a fierce and vicious villain?"
A reporter from a certain newspaper stared at Chen Fei 'er and asked without blinking.
Chen Fei 'er had been in the industry for many years. What kind of reporters had she not met? Faced with such a question, she smiled and said, "It's precisely because Mr. Lu Chen and I starred in two TV series that I changed my role this time. This way, the audience will not be tired of it, and I can also challenge my own acting skills …"
She held the microphone and spoke with confidence. Her whole body was filled with a beautiful and confident aura, making it impossible for people to nitpick.
In "A Chinese Ghost Story", Chen Fei 'er was the big boss, and here, she was still the queen!
